Police: Would-be computer seller turns to robbery

Seattle police are looking for an armed robber who held up a South Seattle electronics store Sunday evening.

About 6:30 p.m., the man entered the store, located in the 8400 block of Rainier Avenue South, and tried to sell two computers. According to police, the man pulled a pistol after store employees refused to buy the computers.

The man chambered a round before demanding workers hand over their money and cell phones, a Seattle Police Department spokesman said in a statement. The robber then fled with the cash and phones, leaving the computers behind.

Police responded to the area but did not find the suspect. The investigation remains ongoing.
